Meet Jordy — Founder behind Monsta who gained a lot of experience as an independent entrepreneur and who has worked in various positions within various creative industries. He created many campaigns for various big international companies such as Philips, T-Mobile and Rabobank and more.
Chris: Monsta’s are digital artwork collectibles of monster figures. What sets apart the Monsta tokens from the other digital art NFTs filling the Metaverse?
Jordy: Not only are we very happy with our project's amazing artwork, we have also been working on a fantastic storyline. The storyline is created in such a way that we will have the opportunity to design animated short stories or comics later on.
In addition, we are working on a P2E game in which our storyline will be highlighted. The game will be a “pokemon GO style” mobile game, where players will be able to go around and find Monsta Eggs scattered on the planet’s surface. Upon finding an egg, players will have the opportunity to open them and encounter unique prizes, like cryptocurrency, NFTs, physical merch, museum tickets, in-game assets and more! One of the eggs will contain an actual MONSTA MONSTER TRUCK!
We recently decided to close our community on Discord. We are putting out riddles on our Socials. The answers to our riddles will grant people an invite link to our closed community.
Chris: Moreover, the Monsta’s will be released in phases. How and when will they be released? How many tokens will be dropped on the Metaverse in total?
Jordy: We have divided our storyline into three phases. But we already have plans to expand the storyline after phase 3. Our community will have input in how the project will evolve over time.
Phase 1: Storyline introduction + 2222 Male Monsta
2222 Male Monsta have entered earth's atmosphere looking for a new life and companionship. It is their lifelong dream to inhabit a planet alongside the original inhabitants and they are more than ready to get comfortable. We’re introducing our first 2222 Male Monsta NFTs.
Phase 2: Introduction Games + 2222 Female Monsta
Female Monsta have found a way to leave their home planet and found their way to Earth safely. They are very excited to be reunited with their beloved Male Monsta. We’re introducing a couple of smaller games in which players will have the opportunity to earn points. These points will grant players useful items for our P2E game in phase 3.
Phase 3: P2E Game + Baby Monsta
Monsta Eggs have scattered all around earth. Go outside and try to encounter as many as you can. Are you lucky enough to find a Monsta Egg? If you are, you will be rewarded accordingly. Most Monsta Eggs contain rubbish, but some may contain cryptocurrency, merchandise or even Female Monsta.
Dates are to be decided, but we are ready to deliver. At this moment we are focussing on growing our community.
Chris: The Monsta NFTs have a play-to-earn game linked to the token. How does one play the game? What is the process of signing up and using the NFT within the game? Please elaborate in the interest of the potential investors.
Jordy: Our P2E game will be based on the well-known game ‘Pokemon Go’, where players will be able to wander the real world and encounter Monsta-Eggs. These eggs will contain rubbish most of the time, but some contain unique prizes like cryptocurrency, NFTs, physical merchandise and more!
One of the eggs will even contain an actual monster truck! Where everyone is able to play our game and find prize-containing eggs, only NFT holders will be able to actually claim their prizes.
Chris: Also, there is a breeding phase involved in due course. How and when can one mint their tokens? What will be the features of the baby Monsta NFT? Will breeding bear a cost?
Jordy: Breeding will be a significant part of our P2E game. To have access to the breeding feature, players will need to own 2 NFTs (all combinations are allowed since we’re very open minded). Breeding on other projects often results in holding a new NFT. Within our project, the reward for breeding will consist of special in-game eggs that yield higher chances of hatching prizes!
Chris: Speaking of cost, what will be the price of one Monsta NFT at the public sale? Also, please share the pre-sale prices of both male and female releases of the Monsta tokens.
Jordy: We have yet to decide on the minting price for both the Male and Female monsta. The price will depend on several factors, of which the current price of Ethereum and the wishes of the community are taken into consideration. Whitelisted people will have access to early minting for a discounted price.
Chris: There is a plan to open merchandising and platform expansion in the future. Would you please elaborate on these two future prospects of the NFT?
Jordy: In our P2E game, the main aim for players is to go outside and encounter eggs in the ‘real world’. These eggs may contain rubbish, but some may contain discount codes for Monsta merchandise.
The platform expansion in the future will focus mainly on the in-game rewards. With more people engaging in our P2E game we will have more opportunities to partner up with all different kinds of organizations. Imagine being able to hatch tickets to concerts and sports events, or discount codes for fashion brands or plane tickets. The sky is quite literally the limit here.
Chris: So, what will be the official communication channels where all information will be shared regarding rewards, pre-sales, minting dates, and future action plans?
Jordy: Our discord and twitter will have all the latest information. However, since we decided to have a closed community, we will make sure to communicate all necessary information through our other social media channels.
Chris: In the end, please describe the minting process for the Monsta NFT. It would be helpful if you could lay down a step-by-step process.
Jordy: Interested people will need to have the Metamask Wallet extension installed into the browser and have sufficient funds to pay the NFT price and gas fees. They will then have the opportunity to mint their Monsta NFT through our website, which is already up and running. Closer to the minting date we will create a step-by-step process that will be posted in our discord. During mint we will make sure to have enough moderators available to help and assist with the minting process. The step-by-step guide will most likely look like this;
-
Visit our website and scroll down to the “minting section” located at the bottom of the home page.
-
Click the “Connect Wallet button” and confirm the operation via the Metamask pop-up
-
Choose the amount of NFTs you want to buy and click the “Mint now button”.
-
A metamask Pop-up will show you the estimated price including gas-fees. To finalize the sale you need to confirm the transaction in Metamask
-
After the transaction is complete, the NFT will be visible in your account
NB: Your newly minted NFT will not show you the Monsta yet. When public sale closes we will reveal all Monsta at the same time.
